I have a VGA to rca/s-video connector. What do i have to do to get the picture to come up clear on my TV?

Question

Right now it is barely coming in scrambled. I was told when i bought the connector all i would have to do is hook it up. Any help would be great, thanks.

Answer 1

Sorry, VGA to s-video may not going to work without a converter box in between.

VGA is RGB and S-video is Luma/Chroma color difference.

S-video is also SD only, so the max resolution on the PC should be 480.

Answer 2

It might depend on what you're trying to connect to your TV and if your TV is an HDTV.

If it's a computer, then you might be able to adjust your PC's "scanning frequency".  A non-HDTV can only handle a 30Hz scanning frequency.  You might also try to change the PC's output from "non-interlaced" to "interlaced".

Now if you're trying to connect an HD video device (cable box, XBOX 360, etc.) to a non-HDTV then you probably won't be able to adjust the video output on those devices outside of the resolution (480p, 720p, 1080i, etc.).  Changing the output might help.
